Surname
A surname, family name, or last name is the portion of a personal name
that indicates a person's family (or tribe or community, depending on
the culture).[1] Depending on the culture all members of a family unit
may have identical surnames or there may be variations based on the
cultural rules.
In the English-speaking world, a surname is commonly referred to as a
last name because it is usually placed at the end of a person's full
name, after any given names. In many parts of Asia, as well as some
parts of
EuropeEurope and Africa, the family name is placed before a
person's given name. In most Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking
countries, two surnames are commonly used and in some families that
claim a connection to nobility even three are used.
Surnames have not always existed and today are not universal in all
cultures. This tradition has arisen separately in different cultures
around the world

Patronymic
A patronymic, or patronym, is a component of a personal name based on
the given name of one's father, grandfather (i.e., an avonymic),[1][2]
or an even earlier male ancestor. A component of a name based on the
name of one's mother or a female ancestor is a matronymic. Each is a
means of conveying lineage. In such instances, a person is usually
referred to by their given name, rather than their patronymic.
Patronymics are still in use, including mandatory use, in many
countries worldwide, although their use has largely been replaced by
or transformed into patronymic surnames
